Our process

How We Run a Building Project in Havant

Every job we take on in the town follows the same eight stages, so you always know who is on site, what happens next and what it is costing you.

Free site visit

We come out to your property in Havant, measure up, look at ground conditions and talk through what you actually want. No charge and no pressure.

Design and drawings

Our architectural team produces the plans and elevations, whether that is a permitted development rear extension or a full planning submission.

Planning and building control

We handle the Havant Borough Council application on your behalf, including conservation area consent where it is needed.

Fixed written quotation

A costed, itemised quote against the approved drawings. One contract, one price, no day rates creeping in halfway through.

Programme and start date

You get a written build programme before we break ground, with the trades booked in and a realistic finish date.

Build

Groundworks, structure, first fix, plastering, second fix and finishes, all managed by one site manager who is contactable throughout.

Sign off and handover

Building control completion certificate, a snagging walk round with you, and our workmanship guarantee in writing.

Aftercare

We are based in Waterlooville, a few minutes down the A3(M) away. If something needs looking at six months later, we come back.

Local knowledge

Planning Permission in Havant

Havant is the seat of Havant Borough Council, so householder applications are decided by the authority on your doorstep. That works in your favour: we know the local plan, we know how the case officers read it, and we know which schemes go through on delegated powers and which get pulled in for a committee decision.

The part of the borough that catches people out is Langstone. The Langstone conservation area is covered by an Article 4 Direction, which strips out permitted development rights — but only on the elevations fronting a public area. Rear and side elevations that do not face a highway, footpath or public space are not included. Land along the shoreline also falls within the Chichester Harbour National Landscape, so anything visible from the water attracts extra scrutiny, and flood risk has to be addressed on the low-lying plots.

A lot of single-storey rear extensions here go through under permitted development rather than full planning, which is faster and cheaper. We will always check that route first before putting in an application you may not need.

What we deal with for you

  • Havant Borough Council householder applications
  • Langstone conservation area and Article 4 Direction checks
  • Chichester Harbour National Landscape considerations
  • Flood risk assessments for low-lying plots
  • Permitted development certificates of lawfulness
  • Building regulations drawings and structural calculations
  • Party wall notices to neighbouring owners
  • Building control inspections through to completion certificate

Questions

Havant Builders: Common Questions

Do I need planning permission for an extension in Havant?

Often not. Many single-storey rear extensions fall under permitted development. If your property is in a conservation area, or close to the Chichester Harbour National Landscape, the rules are tighter and a full application to Havant Borough Council is usually needed. We check this free of charge at the first site visit.

How long does a rear extension take to build in Havant?

A straightforward single-storey rear extension is typically twelve to sixteen weeks on site once we start, depending on ground conditions and the size of the opening into the existing house. You get a written programme before we begin, not a verbal estimate.

Are Waterlooville Builders insured and accredited?

Yes. Waterlooville Builders is registered with CHAS and carries full public liability and contractors all risks insurance. Certificates are available on request.

Will you handle the planning application for me?

Yes. Our construction consultants prepare the drawings, submit the application, deal with the case officer and manage building control inspections through to the completion certificate. You do not need to appoint a separate architect.

Can we stay in the house while you work?

In most cases yes. On rear extensions we keep the existing wall in place until the new structure is weathertight, so the disruption is limited to the last few weeks. On full refurbishments it is usually easier to move out, and we will be straight with you about that at quotation stage.

Do you work on period and listed properties in Havant?

Havant has an unusually wide mix of housing. We work on the older properties around the historic centre, Langstone and Old Bedhampton, and on the post-war housing at Stockheath and across Leigh Park, where the late-1950s and 1960s stock takes extensions and loft conversions very well. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well as planning permission, and the Langstone conservation area carries an Article 4 Direction, so we will guide you through whichever applies.
